Outstanding!

Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
I didn't think I would be impressed with this tobacco. Taking the lid off and giving it a little air I sniffed the tobacco. Hmm, that's quite nice. I left the jar lid off for about 8 hours and the moisture level was near perfect. These are soft Virgi... Read More
nia flakes turned on end in the jar. The jar aroma is mellow and the bourbon is so faint that it smells more like apple or mixed fruit pie. I rubbed the flakes all the way out and loaded up. AMAZING! This is SUPERB! The Virginia is hay, and sweet feed, and mellow, while the liquor topping is very faint not really tasting like bourbon but a light fruitiness.I have tobacco hid away all over the house, but I have found myself revisiting this blend over and over until I'm going to need another jar soon. If you are a Virginia flake fan, give this a try! Two thumbs up! Read Less
Perfect out of jar

Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
If your wondering if you should get this DO IT NOW. Its perfect out of jar the moisture content is the best I've had in awhile not overly wet or any crispy dryness around edges. the cut is soft, mild and can be pulled apart easily. The note in my opi... Read More
nion is fruity(fig kind of fruit or some sort of red berry), nutty brown chocolate with a sweetness that I almost want to just grab it and chew it strait out of the jar. It smelt so good and don't be mistaken this is not even a aromatic. The smoke is great very consistent, (if cut or rubbed out right) and burns very even. Burns along time 40 to an hour. The Tastes is high mild, can taste different notes throughout the smoke especial if relight a couple of times although I didn't feel the need to even after tamping the ash down. Great for Spring time. This jar of Back Down South is a 10/10 for me. Read Less
Nice Bourbon Note
May 04, 2018
Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
A medium-sliced, soft broken flake. Nose is distinctly sweet bourbon backed with mild fruit tones. Smoke is smooth, but not particularly flavorful. Perique is mild to my tastes.
Fairly good

Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
The smell of tobacco is sweet, it reminds me of jam. The feel of the tobacco is soft and slightly sticky, easy to rub. I had to leave it to dry a little and I did not realize that at the beginning of my dealings with it, but the second time after scr... Read More
ubbing it I let it dry for a few minutes and then I stuffed it into the Savinelli pipe 320. After burning it gives light white ash, the flame goes out after about ten minutes if you do not continue to draw. The second primers are easy to draw and require some tamping
رائحة التبغ حلوة تذكرني بالمربى. ملمس التبغ ناعم ولزج قليلاً ويسهل فركه. اضطررت إلى تركه ليجف قليلاً ولم أدرك ذلك في بداية تعاملي معه ، لكن في المرة الثانية بعد دعكه ، تركته يجف لبضع دقائق ثم حشوته في أنبوب Savinelli 320. بعد الاحتراق يعطي رمادًا أبيضًا خفيفًا ، ينطفئ اللهب بعد حوالي عشر دقائق إذا لم تستمر في السحب. يسهل اشعاله في المره الثانية ويحتاج الى بعض الدك Read Less

Tin note is very nice with some type of alcohol or fermented aroma. Moisture level is good. This folds and stuffs very easily or will rub out easily if that is preferred. Charring light was easy and sweet. The burn is slow and steady without hardly a... Read More
ny relighting required. There is no doubt about this being a blend of what is claimed, both the Va. and the Perique are very evident in the smoke from start to finish. The blend has a high level of sweetness and a medium level of complexity. I was would definitely put this on par with many of the popular VaPer blends on the market today and maybe even give it a one up for the added flavor that comes through. Hay and grass, natural sugar sweetness, spice form the Perique, excellent with early morning coffee. Read Less
Excellent!

Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
This is my first adventure into the perique world and I was quite impressed. Did not expect a scent of whiskey when opening the jar, now I was even more interested. Packed up one of my Royal Demuth pipes and immediately got the tangy peppery note on ... Read More
my tongue that I have heard about. Throughout the bowl, the spiciness gave way to a wonderful smooth smoke. Im now hooked on the VaPer's Read Less
Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
I like it, the aroma is nice, but doesn't really follow through to tasting what it smells like, but an easy smoke, mild in flavor, bit of a hit on the back end. I expected more sweetness but the result is pleasing. It's a nice change-up from my usual... Read More
favorites and every experience with it has been positive. Burns a bit steamy and hotter than my usual selections but its to be expected from the rather bold choice of packaging. the mason jar is a welcome novelty and will function for storage for another tobacco when its empty. But I don't like gimmicks and this is boarder-line gimmicky, fun yes, but you're way over paying on a product. 2oz for $11 is a bit much, I'm just glad this turned out to be a good smoke, but will I buy it again? Maybe if it's in bulk, and on a whim I'll pick up another jar, but it's not on my shopping list. I was very tempted to pick up the Bacon Old Fashioned flavor, but glad I didn't, too many negative reviews on it. I'll look at the rest of the selection and consider another flavor, but only if it's got glowing reviews. Read Less
Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
Jar note of spiced figs and tart Rasins. Tobacco broken flakes rub out easily. The dark brown tobacco is on the wet side, drying is needed. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium and nic is medium. No flavoring that I could disc... Read More
ern, if there is flavoring, it muddled. Taste is medium to full and inconsistent, with notes of dry earth, bitter wood, prunes, very spicy, mild tangy fruit, mildly sweet Rasin bread, mildly floral, mild spice, a bitter plum background note, and a spicy retro. Perique is leading with Virginias supporting from afar. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is ok. Read Less
Nice light smoke
November 16, 2022
Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
I like Va/Per blends. This is a good one. I get a light fruity and smooth tone. Maybe the smooth note could be described as chocolate. This is a really subtle chocolate. The Virginias are not real prominent. I don’t get the whiskey that others talk a... Read More

Very nice tobacco

Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
If you’re on the fence about purchasing this tobacco, do it. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite tobaccos.
On opening the container, I was impressed with the aromas of raisin and plum, with a faint bourbon-corn-sweetness. It’s a soft flake, ... Read More
easily broken apart.
Smoking gives a soft, sweet bourbon note with soft apple and fruit tones. Definitely a smooth smoke if kept very cool. Highly recommend this product. Read Less

This blend smells and tastes like Iwan Ries 3 star Blue. Sweet whiskey smell and taste. Just about 20 minutes drying time. Mason jar is a nice touch. I ama perique smoker. This blend is very tasty and satisfying.
The Right Amount.

I found this to be a perfects balance of Virgina and Perique, I get the wonderful sweetness of the Virgina with just the right amount of Perique Spice. Often, for me there can be to much Perique and I find too peppery. You wont find that here, a fant... Read More

说实在的我抽着比Ps豪海好抽，新草陈一陈应该会更好，过鼻比较刺激，干闻更香，一股浓浓的酒味，梅森瓶真不错，比从某宝买的那些密封性要好很多
Robust but not exciting
October 01, 2021
Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
The blend is supplied in a wonderful Mason jar. It smells dense with an alcoholic note (kind of whisky but I have to say it reminds me of a Navy Flake too). And there are some fruity notes. It's easy to pack the flake into the pipe. First third of th... Read More
e bowl: It tastes a bit monotonously, enclosed in a cocoa note that is too predominant for me. The Perique is there but I've expected more. There is a hint of vanilla. I've got some coating on my palate. Second third: Beneath this cocoa there is some oak barrel wood taste. To the end of the second third of the bowl there appears some little taste of fig, apricot and prune. It's as you would have some fruity dessert covered with cocoa. Last third of the bowl: I've got more typical Virginia tastes. The cocoa declines a bit. But where is the Perique? Strength: medium. Pipe: Peterson Sherlock Holmes Mycroft Dark Smooth Read Less

Kind of OK
November 28, 2020
Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
Tobacco was ok, it has a very strong sweet smell and no sweet taste. The smoke is Farley smooth and burns smooth if you want a straight Virginia taste you might like this blend. The best part was the Mason jar the blend came in.
King Among My VaPers
September 27, 2020
Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
This concoction just might be my all-time favorite VaPer, and this is one reason that once I twist open that little Kerr Mason jar, it’s not long before it’s depleted. The lovely tin note soon gives way to a most pleasant smoking session. Sweet and s... Read More
lightly spicy Southern classic. Aptly named!
Sometimes for an enhanced smoking experience, I’ll sit in my rocking chair on my front porch, puffing this blend, listening to the Kings of Leon song by the same name. A song of yearning. I’ll remember my years living in New England, California and Spain, and despite all my great adventures there, I knew I was destined to return to my native South.
But wherever I’m puffing this blend, and whatever I happen to be listening to, I deeply enjoy cracking open that little jar and taking in that aroma. I’ll second the reviewer here who said it smells of orange soda, and another, that there’s a very faint scent of bourbon mixed in. To me, though, it smells more like a liquor than orange soda.
These broken flakes are some of the moistest that I order, of all my blends, and might they crumble the easiest of all my flakes. I already start to miss this one greatly when the jar is nearly depleted. I should add that I’ve never cellared Back Down South long enough to sample it after significant aging. I end up cracking it open soon after receiving it and it becomes empty in a matter of days! The acute sweetness of the Virginias are blended with just the right kiss of Perique to spice things up, but not render the blend significantly spicy. The balance of the two keeps me returning, time after time! 4.5 stars. Read Less

Fruity / boozy aroma from the jar, and a very interesting broken flake VaPer. Another good C&D blend for BW. Perfect with a bourbon and the Larkin Poe’s song. Recommended.

im not a perique lover but this tobacco impressed me, I can feel the perique but Virginia balance so well that I like this blend.
Good VaPer Flake!

Product: BriarWorks Back Down South 2oz
When you open the tin, you smell a interestig aroma- composition. Something between Liquor- Parline, venegar and dark chocklate. But, don't get me wrong- this is NOT an aromatic tobacco. The Flavour is just a light topping, the overall appereance ... Read More
of this blend is natural. I have expected a very robust and straight C&D- typical taste. But this Blend is far more elegant and balanced than most blends of this producer. Reminds me a bit a Pease- Blend.
Typical, natural Virginia- Flavour, supported by spicy Perique.
Flakes are slightly loose pressed, and very easy to pack. It burns very easy, and don't need drying time. Although, it's sometimes a bit harsh, i think because it's a young tobacco. I believe it will gain a lot when it ages. Perfect VaPer for Cellaring, and good choice for smokers that find most C&D Blends too overpowered.
Note: The Tin is really made of Glass, and closes very well! Read Less
Extremely good blend

I had a sample of this before it was released so I was waiting to hit the market. I truly enjoy this Virginia perique blend. The tin note is, as the previous reviewer said of orange soda. There seems to be very light topping the sets this Virginia pe... Read More

This stuff has an orange soda (orange coke in my neck of the woods)Tin note.The flavors are what I have wanted in a VAPer but never found. This will be a champ to age. Like Pete's Beard I HIGHLY recommend.
